ONEX COMMUNICATIONS

The global telecommunications marketplace has become increasingly competitive due to privatization and deregulation. As communications providers seek ways to compete more effectively and better leverage their infrastructure investments, additional pressure is brought to bear on telecom equipment vendors. The ability to deliver switching and transmission solutions that offer service providers increased flexibility and improved economics is the key to equipment providers’ success. ONEX Commun... ications enables service providers to achieve service agility by providing telecom equipment vendors with the industry’s first System Silicon. ONEX Communications’ System Silicon gives established telecom equipment vendors the flexible migration path necessary for enabling existing products to support next-generation requirements. ONEX’s System Silicon also allows emerging telecom vendors to develop cutting edge carrier systems. System Silicon provides integrated switching, routing and transmission on silicon.
